What reviewers actually said

1. [R11] theScore 5/5 · US Best app for following live sports: I’ve found this to be the best app for following live sports, tracking your favorite teams, and keeping up to date with major news of the day. I love that the developers are constantly updating it with new features and improved user interface. Whether following a game play by play or customizing your home teams page to your preferred layout, this is #1 in my boo
2. [R14] theScore 5/5 · US So close to being the single best live score app for MLB: I use TheScore mainly for MLB baseball. I’ve tried basically ever other viable app (Apple sports, yahoo sports, cbs sports, sports alerts, real, sofascore, flashscore) for live scores, and the one that seemed to work the best out of all of them was TheScore. I really have almost no gripes with this app at all. The only thing that I would lo
3. [R32] theScore 5/5 · US Really good app: I’ve been using theScore for 4 years now and I love how convenient it is. I’m particularly a big college sports fan and I find that this app makes college scores, stats, and schedule information the most accessible. I honestly did prefer the old UI display for college matchups where it showed the full team name and record. An option to change it back to the old view would be nic
4. [R61] CBS Sports 1/5 · US Bad Update: The new update makes the app look like social media, not an app that actually has articles with sports stories along with the scores
5. [R24] theScore 3/5 · US Missing NCAA Softball & Rugby: Hi. Love the app actually. Easy to use - 1st Star NFL - 2nd Star NCAA Football - 3rd Star NCAA Softball - 4th Star Any Rugby at all gets the 5th Star LIke I said. I love the app. It is easy to pick out who you want to follow and rank the leagues so my personal best of show is on the top. I like the notifications when I can’t be watching my teams. The interface is s
6. [R41] theScore 5/5 · US Hands Down Best Sports Score App: I will never go back to ESPN or CBS apps for sports scores. I am a sports obsessed nut and theScore is ideal. College baseball regular season scores are the only thing I’ve ever had to look elsewhere for, but I can’t imagine that would be a deal breaker for too many people.
7. [R72] CBS Sports 3/5 · US Update disaster: Could you at least make a setting to allow to view homepage in the old list style? Feels like a lot more scrolling to get similar content, many more videos (there’s a watch tab for that), everything is a large thumbnail that isn’t necessary and takes away from the app.
8. [R6] theScore 3/5 · US Score: Was great until a few weeks ago when the score showed nothing, blank scoreboard
9. [R25] theScore 2/5 · US The live is out of sync: The scorecast is slow and you get updates on what’s happening from the score before the live cast updates. It makes that feature useless. I think this app is garbage until they fix that.
10. [R1] theScore 1/5 · US Awful Articles: Bad , too many articles on female assaulter Conor McGregor . They delete comments if you criticize female assaulters. Shame and lame. I’d give zero stars if I could.
11. [R64] CBS Sports 1/5 · US App is bad: Stop asking me to rate
12. [R91] CBS Sports 1/5 · US Missing new leagues: I will redownload this app when they add the PWHL, AUSL, and WPBL. I get they’re newer leagues but these are the ones I want to see on here because you don’t see as much coverage on them.
13. [R46] theScore 1/5 · US Crashes: App crashes and black screen. Don’t bother replying. Your meta software is programmed to respond with general comments . Your app sucks now
14. [R58] theScore 1/5 · US Live Activities do NOT work: The notification settings for this app are absolutely, unbelievably bad. I set all my notifications to only show me scoring updates and have live activities. Guess what - live activities never update AT ALL on my lock screen (and yes I have them enabled in iOS settings). Additionally, despite me choosing explicitly not to have notifications sent for the end of an innin
15. [R96] CBS Sports 1/5 · US Downfall: Was one of the best sports app now constantly wrong scores , wrong times , wrong starters , and completely fabricated events in the game it will tell you that Jalen Brunson hit a three and the score is 145 to 160 when the score is 44-45 in the second it’s really bad , chat will block you for any slang any abbreviations any talk of money line or talks of them rigging also does not go thro
16. [R102] CBS Sports 1/5 · US New update is a nightmare: I loved the CBS Sports app. Great scoreboard and the news feed was always dialed. New update destroyed the formerly great news feed. Suddenly it is video and AI slop everywhere you look. I’ll be looking for a new go to sports score app if it’s not fixed. Hire a designer!
17. [R112] CBS Sports 2/5 · US App: Why did you change the format? The new layout with “following, trending, favorites” is awful. The new feed is hard to navigate. I don’t need a bunch of videos. I need headlines and I’ll click if I’m interested. I’m not 12. I actually am looking for a new sports app due to the new format. At least give me an option to stick with the “classic” format.
